Zimbabwe lost to a spirited Bangladeshi side by six wicket, thanks in a main to Rubel Hossain and some very attacking fielding from the visitors. Captain Brendan Taylor scored a well deserved century but this was not enough to change the outcome of the match.

The new Zimbabwe captain Brendan Taylor’s maiden Test century has paved the way for what will, barring most unusual circumstances, be an outstanding and highly creditable victory for the home side on the final day.
